Continuous Damping Control
3
(
CDC)
CDC adapts vehicle damping to the current
driving situation and road conditions.
The system continually monitors wheel and
vehicle movements and immediately
modifies the damping of each shock
absorber. Chassis calibration is optimally
adapted to the driving situation and road
conditions.
When SPORT mode is engaged, the
damping control is adapted to a sportier
driving style ("harder" chassis calibration).
SPORT mode – see right column.

Control indicator IDS+ for Continuous
Damping Control (CDC)
Illuminates for approx. 10 seconds after
the driver’s door is opened. If it illuminates
while driving, there is a fault in the system.
The system is not operational. For reasons
of safety "harder" chassis calibration will
be activated. Have the cause of the fault
remedied. We recommend that you consult
your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The
system’s integrated self-diagnostics allows
faults to be quickly remedied.

SPORT mode is used to change
damping

,
steering

,
throttle
application

and the shift point for
automatic transmission and Easytronic

while driving.
Damping and steering become more direct
and provide better contact with the road
surface. The engine reacts more quickly to
accelerator movements.
For automatic transmission

and
Easytronic

,
the shift times are reduced
and gear changes occur at a higher engine
speed (except when cruise control is on).
